Parse and restructure key value pair of JSON Object to Python Object

0 votes

Hi ,

I am trying to parse below JSON object output from a web server. This JSON object has just one entry but actual object has many entries. The problem is the way array is structured especially the desired key:value pair that I am looking at, are not in an appropriate format, as explained below:

Explanation:

Code Snippet from below JSON object:

{
"@columnnumber": "0",
"@name": "RequestNum",
"text": {
"0": "AG00106"
}
},

Where,

"@name": "RequestNum"  the column name i.e. key is "RequestNum"

"0": "AG00106" the column value i.e. value is "AG00106"

Is there a way I could transpose or change the out put so I could see something as following:

Desired Result in Python Object: { "RequestNum":"AG00106", "$1":"Alan Gosnell",.....}

Total number of columns are 28. Indexing starts with "0"

@Khushboo,

Can you link to a correctly formatted JSON file? I was going to check it in a viewer and read it with pandas but the snippet is incomplete.
